Four days after the Jeju Air passenger plane disaster, an investigation is underway to collect the victims' belongings and determine the cause of the disaster.
The identities of the victims of the disaster were all confirmed through precise DNA testing.
I'll connect you with a reporter on the spot. Reporter Kim Ki-soo!
[Reporter]
Yes, I'm at the scene of the Muan International Airport accident.

What work is currently in progress?
[Reporter]
Yes, the place you see behind is the scene of the accident.
You can still see the tail of the plane at the scene.
Here, you can see police and other personnel on the scene searching.
Police and fire authorities are working on collecting the victims' belongings and damaged bodies.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is continuing its investigation into the cause of the aircraft's landing gear not working, leaving all possibilities open.
We are determining whether there was a defect in the device itself, the possibility of shutting down the aircraft, and whether both engines failed.
In addition, we are continuing to analyze the plane's black box to determine the exact cause of the disaster.
Yesterday, a joint investigation team involving U.S. experts toured the site to see if there was any data left to reveal the wreckage and cause of the accident.

All the victims have been identified?
[Reporter]
Yes, it is.
All four victims, who have not been identified, have been identified.All 179 victims of the
accident have been identified, and it has been four days since the disaster.
The additional identified victims were identified through a detailed DNA test.
As recently as yesterday afternoon, there were a total of five unconfirmed victims.
The police took additional DNA from the bereaved family and conducted a thorough DNA test to identify one person late last night, and identified all the victims left in the early morning hours.
However, even if all identities are identified, it will take a considerable amount of time to recover the bodies scattered at the accident site and deliver them to the bereaved families.
The total number of victims whose bodies were delivered to the bereaved families was 11, most of whom are having funerals or undergoing procedures.
So far, I'm Kim Ki-soo from YTN at the Muan International Airport accident site.
